|
|
Alright, this is a fresh install. I emerged all of my favorite apps before I actually got gnome working (mozilla, frozen-bubble, etc). Everything emerged just fine then. Now that I am actually in Gnome, and I attempt to emerge something where I need to fetch the files, this is what I get...
Code: | root@Tux largesarge # emerge blender
Calculating dependencies ...done!
>>> emerge (1 of 1) media-gfx/blender-2.27 to /
>>> Downloading http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/blender-2.27.tar.bz2
--08:27:22-- http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/distfiles/blender-2.27.tar.bz2
=> `/usr/portage/distfiles/blender-2.27.tar.bz2'
Resolving gentoo.oregonstate.edu... done.
Connecting to gentoo.oregonstate.edu[128.193.0.3]:80... connected.
HTTP request sent, awaiting response...
|
It then times out after a whle. It tries again.... and again. (five times total). It does this for ALL emerges. Help? _________________ in the immortal words of Socrates, "I drank WHAT!?!" |

I've got the same problem. At one time the server didn't even respond to icmp packets(ping). Something have to be wrong with the server because I have'nt changed anything. |

looks like the mirror you use is temporary down. try changing the mirror you use. you can use the tool mirrorselect (emerge app-portage/mirrorselect) to have an easy user interface for that.

heh, I mean having a nice mirror switcher would be great. I can't really emerge it though, they all try and go through the oregon state server. I seem to recall something in make.conf at the bottom where I could put in mirrors. I'll look in there, see if I find anything. Anyone know how to put in mirrors manually? _________________ in the immortal words of Socrates, "I drank WHAT!?!" |

argh
Code: | GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/mirror/gentoo http://sunsite.cnla$ http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/g$ |
thats my make.conf line. There are a lot more mirrors, they just got cut off.
here is what happens.
Code: | root@Tux largesarge # emerge xchat
!!! Invalid token (not "=") http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo"
!!! Parse error in /etc/make.conf.
!!! Incorrect multiline literals can cause this. Do not use them.
